In 2007, at Emory University, Rogers organized a conference on contextual education programs in divinity schools across the United States. In Equipping the Saints, Jenkins and Rogers present 13 treatises from selected professors who direct contextual education and field education programs at the following schools:
David O. Jenkins is Director of Contextual Education I, Director of International Initiatives and assistant professor in the practice of church and community ministries at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. He received his Ph.D. from Duke University and M.Div. from Yale University.
P. ALICE ROGERS is director of the Teaching Parish Program, a lecturer in practical theology, and co-director of contextual education at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. She earned her D.Min. from Emory University and her M.Div. from Duke University.
This important collection of reports and reflections offers a measure of the deep crisis faced in theological education, as well as the rich ferment that is underway in response to that crisis.
